I post this for Ike Stoddard who has lost access to the net.  I include

Sorry for posting this a week late.  I've been away at a conference.

)  EXPERIENCE WANTED:
)    I am hoping to buy some more MB soon.  I have a 1985 A1000, with
)    the Kickstart Eliminator board installed.  I am considering an
)    Inboard1000 from Spirit, or an Insider from Michigan Software (if
)    they're still around).  Does anyone have any experience with this
)    combo?  I'm ready to rework the shielding and case to accommodate
)    them if necessary.

)The Insider is the only memory expansion unit that we have had any problem
